Tesla, privacy...?! I remember years ago when Musk remotely disabled root access to someone's car because they were rummaging around in the software too much. Plus all the times Tesla publicly released play-by-play details of an Autopilot/FSD crash to the news. If anything, I'd categorize Tesla as the least privacy-focused car company out there, especially now that they'll face zero repercussions from the federal government for any violations.

I did not say Tesla has good privacy. I said all cars have terrible privacy track records ICE or EV. Tesla may be the worst but the insurance rates scandal of last summer means they’re all unacceptable.

I’m calling out Tesla has having the hyper modern non functional interfaces shoddy build quality and other EV specific problems. The classic manufacturers have all released functional EVs that check OPs boxes.
